As a mom of 1 kid, I personally don't enjoy watching how other moms struggle. I find it more helpful to watch videos where moms with more on their plate do ALL THE THINGS cause it makes me feel like I can do it as well. Eases my stress and helps me to not overthink things.

You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone sarah. You make me want to strive to be like you and do better. I also want to be an extreme home maker it’s what I love! Don’t listen to that hate! You’re doing amazing!

If you’re watching this video and feel that Sarah’s lifestyle is unrealistic and unattainable for you, keep this in mind. There is a lot that Sarah has that makes being an intense homemaker realistic and attainable for her: 1. Sarah said her family’s income is from her KZfaq work so I’m guessing her husband is home with her. They’re able to tag team together all day. That may not be the case for you. 2. Again, her income comes from being a homemaker. For Sarah, decluttering her closet and making money are one and the same. That may not be the case for you. 3. She says the home she grew up in is similar to the home she keeps. This tells me these organization and cleaning habits of hers were instilled in her from her youth. This may not be the case for you. 4. Many women struggle with mental illnesses that make even taking care of themselves a challenge, let alone taking care of a home and family. That may be you. The rest of us are doing the best we can with what we’ve got and that is amazing!! Celebrate yourself and what you’re able to do. You’re doing a great job!!

My house use to look like yours. Then I realized my kids were afraid to play and make messes and I felt like I was missing so much of their lives because I spent so much time cleaning. Yes, they could be involved but it’s not the same. I also don’t feel right about leaving my baby/toddlers to cry because I need to finish the dishes or mop the floor. I get 1 chance to raise my kids. Everything else can wait.

I dont think its unrealistic, just uncommon. Seeing motiviated and energetic people accomplish a lot probably intimidates some people who might be stuggling, but thats no reason to stop. Most inspirational pople have a drive like this and thats what makes them inspiring. Keep doing what you're going Sarah! I find it inspiring! Hugs from Ontario

I think it’s also important to remember that this is your job. To the people who are envious or upset, this is her full time job. She is a homemaker/KZfaqr - making content for her channel as a direct reflection of her life. Other vloggers who work as nurses/businesswomen/etc. devote their time elsewhere and may have seemingly “unrealistic” standards in other areas of their life. It’s of no use to compare yourself to others. For as much as Sarah devotes time to making her house perfect, I devote myself to other things and make them perfect - and that’s okay.

I grew up in a very messy & disorganized home. For my personality, it caused me stress and anxiety even from a young age. I’ve grown up to highly prioritize a clean and organized home for this reason. My fiancé is the same, even more clean than me! It’s an intentional choice, it takes time and effort. We act on our priorities. Nothing you show is unattainable, but is always inspirational. Thanks for all your content, Sarah!!

Huge shoutout to moms out there getting up and showing up even when you don't have it all together. As women we should so build each other up and inspire, rather than judge.

As someone who is prone to guilt and that feeling of not being or doing enough, especially in comparison to other people, your videos always make me feel inspired and SOMETIMES make me feel, not bad about myself, but convicted that I am not following through on the things I told myself or my husband or my friends that I would! That is a good thing. You’re basically my KZfaq accountability, even though you don’t know it!

That's sad people think your life is "unrealistic" and "unattainable." It absolutely is through living intentionally and only keeping items you need. Minimalism or mindful living is truly life changing and allows you to focus on making time for what matters most to you. Rather than focusing on how your lifestyle is "unrealistic," they should focus on how they can change their own mindset so they don't criticize others for how they live.

Sarah can literally film herself doing errands, cleaning and organizing her house and it creates income for her while being something she genuinely enjoys. So don't beat yourself up if doing household chores takes several, unrewarded hours on top of your job outside the house and therefore doesn't happen as often/"intensely".

The hard part that people need to understand is that everyone’s lives are different, and so are what each person values. For instance whilst you value being at home, I value being out and about when I can. I will drop everything I’m doing to go on a last minute trip to the park with a friend. I also have ADHD which means my brain is completely wired a different way, that is okay! This video was raw, vulnerable and so brave. I can see your heart pouring out. Thank you for honesty and for the reminder that I think a lot of people needed. Sending my love! ❤️

I am the opposite of you in many ways (messy, not that organized in my home, work outside of the house, not religious) but I appreciate and admire you! You clearly put a lot of work into your home and I can totally understand that drive to go after something you want and doing what you need to do to accomplish it. And it totally shows in the way your home and family life looks like! I can be totally ok with doing things differently while supporting another mom in the way she rocks her goals. Love to see women thrive in the way they choose to!

Just because the presentation of your content may intimidate some, it inspires others. If it is unhealthy for me it is my responsibility to not watch it. But Sarah you inspire me as a Christian and wife!

I watched this earlier today and I’ve been thinking about what you said. If I’m being honest, I only made it to 17 minutes. First, I can relate so much to you. When you talked about Martha and your home- that’s me. My house is 90-95% of the time in pristine conditions. I don’t want to say always because that insinuates that I never have a day or even a week where I’m just not feeling it or it’s been busy and we ran through it but majority of the time it looks immaculate. I can relate to that feeling of always being busy and working hard to serve my family. Your content doesn’t offend me. Honestly, I watch it for ideas or tips but never for comparison or aspiration. One thing that you lost me with was where you started talking about “I don’t binge netflix” and stuff. Ok that’s good I guess but some moms do and that’s ok. I’m not sure what things like that have to do with mothering or staying home. I do both. I watch TV and I care greatly for my kiddos and keep a pristine home. No one is perfect. Not you nor I. We all have guilty pleasures or things we are lax on. All of that aside I think my issue is it’s fine to present yourself however but no need to say all of the things you don’t do like that’s a good thing. I’m not sure, maybe I’m reading into it or hearing it wrong. My number one thing with this is remember your audience. If you have a percentage of audience who feels this way, it’s important to look at that. Yes, they don’t have to watch, but it’s important to recognize that they are the reason you get to do this. Views, comments, shares, etc. is how you get branding and things. It’s important to be true to yourself but also to remember who is watching. If a decent portion of women and mamas watching feel this way even if it’s only 25%, that’s a lot of viewers. You don’t have to change for anyone, but just say that and be honest. Croatian can be helpful sometimes. Just a suggestion.

I'm 44 a divorced (when my kids were under 4) SAHM of 3 who lives 15min outside Boston. My oldest who is Autistic is now 15. My son 13yr is borderline. I've moved to many times to count (married in NC heart of the Bible belt) I've experienced the loss of my dad and my mom is now showing her age. My house is always pristine, laundry always done in-between bringing my 3 kids from and to, different places. Doctors , school, therapists. I have TV's but no cable because I don't have time to sit. I never leave the house or go to bed with a dish in the sink or throw pillow out of place. I don't leave my house unless my hair is done, makeup on and my kids clean and nicely dressed. I've been living on the edge of burnout for years hiding it with a smile on my face while crying on the inside. My point? I don't see you as unrealistic, I don't see you as inspiring (and I do not say this to put you down in anyway) I see you as a very young mother, who lives in a sheltered Bible community. A mother in her 20's that has not experienced the harsh reality of the outside world. Your kids are young enough that you still have control over their day. I became friends with mothers like you in NC and their "sheltered" life was one that I can honestly say, was something I would've loved to experience but knew I never could. I may be wrong but if I had to guess the negative comments come from people that do not know anything more than what one video portrays. I also think that if they knew, they would have never commented. Why? Because if I didn't know, I to would think the same but instead I have met mothers in my 20's like you and never did I think their life was unrealistic, in fact the complete opposite. I understand the point of this video but I can also see where the negatively comes from. Social media brings people from everywhere. Mothers, fathers from all walks of life, most having experienced a much harsher reality, people that have scars from their past ect.. I'm not belittling your life, your struggles, your work. But your age and lack of recognition or insight into the world and the way others live, is very clear in this video.

I’m also an intense home maker. My house is always “ready for guests”, I make my own bread, jams, my kids do their own laundry, I homeschool, and I wake up early to work out 4 days a week. And it’s not a pat myself on the back situation for me either. It’s just how I like to live my life. I hope these comments help you, knowing there are other people who live similarly to you and your family. It’s not unrealistic for people who make it a priority. Edit: I also love how you put in how God weaves us into our personalities. That’s so important for people to realize as well.

My dad's mom was also a very intense homemaker. It's all about priorities. I would love to live in your home, but I also recognize I have other priorities in some areas and that's okay.

I feel like there’s a trend of high standards being “wrong” but as long as it’s not intended to hurt others... then why does it matter how someone lives their life? Thank you for this video. Much respect

Ok, I might be crazy, but the things that people bash you on are literally the things I like about you. I never saw you as making other mom's feel bad, but more as an inspiration to do things better in my own home. I also don't find you unrealistic at all, if anything you are one of the influencers I find most realistic.

I think maybe people see it as unrealistic because you don’t have a “traditional” job (not going somewhere 9-5 you know?) and maybe people think it’s unrealistic for an offline person to achieve it?

If anyone has ever felt like they had to make themselves smaller because they were too much for someone else, please read: take a deep breath and take a good hard look at yourself. If you're honest, you'll soon know if they are A) shining a light on a problem, or B) this was a projection of their own insecurities onto you and go ahead and keep shining brightly as you! Remember that honesty is key here and there's no shame in seeking personal therapy to get to know one's self even more intimately 😌

I think what people forget is Sarah makes a LIVING off videos of her homemaking. I’m not saying it’s all done for content but that is a motive, surely. Two birds with one stone! Yes, there’s the whole other side of KZfaq with editing and branding, etc. Her husband ALSO works with her on that end so they are a team, which makes things easier I would imagine. Having both parents work from home at the same job that essentially requires them to film their daily lives but in a way they can monetize their daily life… why would anyone compare themselves to a successful mom/homemaking channel?

I think it’s hard because it’s not often brought up that you have marital support other mothers often don’t have. My husband is gone 80% of the time and I still have to work 3 hours a day outside of the home to supplement our income WHILE living frugally because my oldest is neurodivergent and my oldest 2 children are from a prior unhealthy marriage. I never felt challenged by your videos, moreso saddened - you portray this amazing life I wish I could lead, and I can’t. My ex wouldn’t consent to homeschooling, I work outside of the home during nap time, and while I also “don’t binge Netflix” it’s because my day is totally full of solo parenting 3 kids under 4, breastfeeding, cleaning, cooking, prepping and working. My husband helps however he can WHEN he’s at home. It just feels like a genuine lack of transparency that would give your life/videos/vlogs some personally necessary context. You have 2 able bodied adults in your home at all times. That’s an anomaly that should and could be addressed in some awesome ways.

My mother always taught me that when I see a woman who is beautiful, successful, and happy and has her stuff together in all areas that are important to her (which may or may not be the same areas that are important to me), that I should see it as excellent news, as an encouraging sign that it is possible to have "it all" (of course we always wish for something else and more, having dreams is wonderful, but you see what I mean). You and I lead very different lives, but I love your channel because it shows a woman who lives her best life, and that is a major inspiration and makes me appreciate my own lovely life. So thank you ♥️

You have a beautiful life. I recognize every one has unique experiences and I love seeing yours. It's all about perspective, and if your life triggers someone, chances are it's because of a lack of self worth, or a trauma someone isn't healed from. Keep it up, you are loved!

You’re not responsible for managing the way anyone else compares themselves to you or another. Some of my most inspired, productive, and fulfilling days happen when I’ve seen one of your videos. Thank you for being genuine in what you do. I appreciate you Sarah! I see your true spirit in the care you give providing us with your “YOU” content.

Personally, i follow you for that specific reason: I'm feeling motivated when I watch your videos, most of the time, i want to clean my house more, be more gentle with my kids, exercise more and so on... And that is the magic of KZfaq, i mean, if u feel that one channel makes you feel bad about your life, than don't watch it... You can choose.. personally, i thank you for your content... Really helps me... Soo much... Thanks Sarah.

Sorry, but everyone is responsible for their own happiness. Those people are just envious, and that's not your problem. It's theirs.

10:50 YES!!!! You do all those things for me! I adore you and your channel. I have been subscribed since way back when you were filming in your childhood home. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself! We love you Sarah!

I think we live in a society that seems to judge what everyone else does or has. Thankyou Sarah for sharing your life, I’m disgusted that the few who judge or hate your way of life etc, I can’t stand cyber bullying or any kind of bullying I know we all have different views and that’s fine it’s when people criticise in a hateful way. I love watching your videos i like how your organised and that is the way that I like to live it helps mentally as I suffer anxiety and depression and a tidy comfy home helps me so much. Love to you and your family, be proud of your life and kids xx 💕

I totally relate to you about not being able to relax until things are “perfect”

I’m not a religious person and I never have been but I have a genuine appreciation for you and your relationship with religion and I think it’s beautiful and something more than worthy of respect. Thank you for this video 💕

I’m 6 minutes in and if I’m being honest. I totally get where people are coming from with those comments. There are some times that I watch your videos and it doesn’t make me feel great. Because mentally I’m comparing my homeschool my homemaking and my mothering to you. But that’s not on you. That’s a me problem that I need to shift my perspective and realize that everybody does things differently and how I’m doing my life is perfectly okay. I can’t imagine the heaviness that those comments bring to you, just because I’m a stay at home mom of three and I homeschool etc doesn’t mean that I am less than you. Doesn’t mean that I’m not enough for my family. Comparing my mothering to yours is like comparing winter in Canada to winter in Australia. It doesn’t make any sense. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say with all of that. You’re doing nothing wrong you’re just sharing how you and your family are choosing to live and raise your kids. Any comment negatively about that is not on you it’s on the person making it and they need to dig deep and figure out why your content bothers them. You are truly a light, don’t let someone dim it.

It's not your responsibility to cater to people's feelings. You're doing what you think is best for you and your family, and that's quite alright. If someone feels bad seeing your clean house, that's on them, not on you. Keep up the good work! God bless!

I love Sarah’s videos. They’re like a peaceful escape from my life when things are a bit crazy. They inspire me to take specific steps to get my metaphorical and physical house in order.

thank you for being vulnerable and explaining yourself even though you don’t have to!!! you are appreciated and you are enough❤️❤️

Literally, your "unrealistic" content makes me push myself to do better and makes me realize when i`m lacking in my faith. Thank you so much Sarah!🙏❤

Dear Sarah, I really appreciate you taking about spending time with the Lord. That is an area that, no matter where we are in life, that needs to be a priority, especially in the times we are in. The Lord needs to be our #1. God bless you, your family, home and channel. Shalom dear sister! ✌🏽♥️

I love having my house clean, that’s when I thrive the most, but some people think I’m judgmental if their house it’s not, and I honestly don’t care how they live😅 if they invited me I’ll be happy to have fellowship, but some people are just like that, so I totally can relate to you. Thanks for sharing this ❤️❤️

I also keep my home “extremely” organized. My house is always picked up and clean. It’s something I value for my mental health. I make sure I leave the house every day with every put in its place. Many people assume I pick it up knowing I’ll have company, but it’s for me to be able to do a 360 and see clean

I'm just about your age, just got married last year, and am hoping to start a family. I love getting to see a part of your life because I grew up in a mess (in more ways than one) and I love seeing that it is possible to be different. I love how clean your house is and that you don't just throw up your hands and say, "It won't be clean until the kids are gone." I love seeing your kids playing together (and I know you've said that you don't show us their struggles, but to see them so sweet together is so precious) And I love that you have never claimed that it's easy. You show us your unmade bed, you tell us you're exhausted like any mom with a new baby is. You encourage me to try to have the home and family I've always craved because it clearly is possible. Thank you. I'm praying for you, sister.

The fact that I feel challenged when I watch your videos is exactly why I keep coming back to your channel!! Like you said- what we watch influences us. I'm definitely hoping you rub off on me lol. I feel like your channel has been a Godsend in my life to help me gain a healthier lifestyle, especially since I grew up not knowing what a healthy home life actually was. So thank you!!!

I totally don’t agree with those negative comments you’ve received. Your “perfect” life gives me something to strive for and makes me want to be better, it doesn’t make me feel bad at all for how my situation is. It motivates me. Keep doing you, you’re amazing ❤️

It’s because people want justification for their short comings and failures. That’s why culture is always bashing what they deem “supermoms” as not being real and authentic.

I also came from a home with a mother who was very “intense” and I know for a fact that we “pristine girls” aren’t better than anyone for living that way, we simply do what we need to function better, as you mentioned. Your videos actually makes me feel seen and quite honestly inspired to be the best mom, wife, friend, sister, daughter, Christian I can be. Keep letting God use you as He has and know that I’m only one of many young women who are learning sooo much from you. ❤️

I don’t ever want to be too busy with my work or making a home that I can’t enjoy the present. I’m a future thinker and love to plan for things. And also, if I spend the present constantly planning, I’m not really living life.

I can count the times that I sit down during the day and I just sat for half an hour to watch this video. There are so many days that I wonder how in the world I make things happen. I can’t think when my house is not in order so I work HARD to keep it going. Thank you so much for opening up to us about this. I know it’s not easy being vulnerable online!❤️

“I don’t make content to make you feel small but I want to challenge you” you most definitely do this Sarah! Also praying you continue to grow in trusting in the Lord to find rest in him so you can keep serving him as you serve your family!

You inspire me Sarah! Your life is so beautiful, and I love how intentional you are with everything you do for you, your home, and your family!

My goal is to have a “guest ready home” all the time. It’s a lot of work. But it does feel so much better when the house is under control. Especially when it comes to taking care of my two year old. But my whole family benefits when I put in the work. It’s worth it. And my house is sooooooo much better than it was when I started. And no, my house isn’t always pristine. I do like seeing how nicely your house is put together. Your minimalism videos are great motivation for me to work on my house to get to that point too. It’s do-able. But yes, it is a lot of work. 💜

you're actually the person that inspired me to want kids again. I love the way you interact with them, and being able to see a healthy parent/child relationship made me see that it really is possible. Especially coming from an abusive family. Im actually possibly expecting my first now, so thank you for making me feel powerful and able. ❤

So much of this speaks to me. From your channel over the years, I have gathered you love being a mama, a wife, and a child of God, with minimal items in your life and an abundance of love around you. And you live intentionally. Mindfully. You inspire me to live more intentionally in my life. Thank you for sharing your life. It's inspiring for me.

Sarah I am so grateful for your content. And most of us are!! You do inspire and challenge in the best way! Thank you for being you!! And for sharing your heart. I think this needed to be heard by all of us. You are appreciated!

You know the saying “Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less”? Anyone can see that you do a great job of keeping up your home. This video could have been about 10 minutes long saying that you are trying to steward the gifts the Lord has given you and that any good you do is purely out of His grace. Instead, you spent 30 minutes talking about how amazing you are. As someone who has enjoyed your videos for years, this video really missed the mark as far as humility goes. Not trying to be hateful, just trying to give some perspective.

You are so inspiring, don’t let anyone bring you down. You’re homemaking is an absolute ministry 💕 My goal in life is to be a Proverbs 31 woman, and in many ways you help me get there through a more modern lens.

“Comparison is the thief of joy.” Whenever we view social media, in all it’s forms, we must remember not to compare ourselves and our lives to what we see online. For one, social media is a glimpse of people’s lives, and we never truly know how accurately it portrays anything. And for another, our lives are all unique. There are too many variables to be considered, and just one different variable can have a big effect on someone’s life. Rather, we should take what we see as reminders, of how we do and do not want* to live our own lives. Use what we see as inspiration or cautionary tales. Then apply that to make our own lives the best it can be for ourselves and those we love. Keep being you, Sarah, living your life for God, for His glory, in the best interests of your beautiful family. ❤️🙏🏻 *Edited to correct a typo (what -> want)

Something about this almost felt like watching Mr. Rodgers and when he would talk about hard topics. Loved it and I love being motivated and challenged by how wonderfully productive and diligent your lifestyle is. It's impacted my personal life and helped me to create healthier habits that make me happier! Especially in a hard, rut season of my life. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Almost 2 years now I am watching your channel. Every time it is so relaxing. I send you (and your family) a lot of love! You are a great person. Do what makes you happy. Other’s jealousy will always be around… 🌞🌼

I grew up in a home like this. My mother was obsessed with keeping the house immaculate, and going above and beyond what was expected of a mother of 5. It was hell as a child. Living in such a controlled and sterilized environment without any freedom to "make a mess", or to not have a normal relationship with your mother since she is too busy caring about her home being perfect, is a very toxic environment for any child to grow up in. My mother didn't mother, she kept house. And this is all I'm hearing from this video. Now granted, my mother was a SAHM with a husband that worked out of the house and didn't get any outside help. Compared to Sarah Therese who is essentially a co-homemaker with her husband, and i'm sure because of this their workload is much more manageable and less stressful. But that is the only way she would find time to "mother" her children. Not one person can run a business, homeschool, clean, cook, and look after the needs of 4 young kids. And I wish she would give Keiran the credit he deserves. So anyone that views this as "goals" and says she is such and inspiration, this is only goals if you and your husband are both staying at home running a online social media business that literally revolves around you trying to sell your lifestyle. Then yes, they're totally goals!

My whole life I felt like in order to be a strong woman I had to pursue a career and “not need a man” or wait to have kids, etc. With Gods help I saw the strength in serving my husband and kids and making my house feel like a home but haven’t met another woman who could relate. Seeing your videos shows me how beautiful the role of a woman is and how beautiful it is to love and respect my husband and care for my kids. Please never doubt who you are in The Lord.

This made so much sense to me. I’m intense in my home too and in my teaching job. I’ve come to realise this my personal standard, it’s what makes me happy, calm, gives me peace. I just wish I could make my personality less busy🥲 I find you so calming to watch. It’s always good to have someone to look up to and something to aspire too. I’ve also gotten quite a bit of flack for the way I am.

I really like this channel and I won't unsubscribe based one one video, but this one was hard to watch. I read through so many comments both positive and negative. This video is probably beneficial to your channel because it's getting so many comments which I'm sure helps you, your brand, and your income. I don't feel like you came off well in this video. You are probably extremely sweet and clearly driven and organized...but you really did come across as defensive and self righteous. Your content has never made me feel bad about myself, and I am prone to that, but this video was bordering on guilting and shaming people way more than just living your daily life ever would. Again, I think your channel is great, but this did not have the impact that, I think, you were going for. Maybe bring someone who isn't in a situation just like yours onto your channel and have some dialog with them. Or just do that in real life 🤷‍♀️

I am the same way with my house, I don't feel in the flow if things aren't neat, clean, and orderly, there is definitely an energetic component to this. Love your "fishbowl" thoughts, good reminder for us all!

You didnt need to explain yourself at all but damn Sarah...you need a big slice of humble pie😂

Jesus had haters too…and he was perfect. You’re an inspiration to me and I know so many other (step)moms out there! Stay authentic to yourself. Thanks for the vulnerability…you don’t have to explain why you are the way that you are. ❤️

Thank you for ALL of this!! I love being inspired, encouraged and challenged by your content! I’m currently pregnant with our 4th Bubba and I’m constantly receiving “I don’t know how you do everything you do”… we should celebrate and encourage not chop each other down. I love the fish bowl analogue! Thanks again

You're so inspirational for me, as a mom, a wife and a Christian. Yes, you have changed as I've watched your channel for over two years now, but those changes are all positive growth. It's been wonderful to take this journey of life with you sharing little snippets.

The lord has used your channel to inspire me for years. Please keep challenging us, I know I can’t speak for everyone but I love it. I’ll keep you in my prayers Sarah!🤍🤍

I was like that when I was younger. For my first 20yrs of marriage, my house was always so clean and organized, homemade meals, etc, etc, while I had a full time job. Until I had a nervous breakdown. I ended up getting therapy and now I do things very differently. I admire you so much and you seem to enjoy it and you look so calm. I was happy too and I loved my pretty house but in the end I just realized I needed to relax and enjoy life more. Blessings

Sarah, you inspire me every day to be better, to try to live a more mindful life and to love and care myself to be able to it with others. 💖 You don't have to explain yourself!! You are doing great and you should keep being real! I love it and I know bunch of people do it too 😘 Gigante hug

I did not grow up with an intense homemaker as a mom. In some ways I think that has given me an obstacle to overcome as I learn how to keep my home tidy on my own and carry on with my work. Your channel and others like it have been not only an inspiration but somewhere I learn what habits and organization tricks you use that I didn't learn growing up. Thank you for being you Sarah!

Your energy feels like home to me. You inspire me despite some of my goals being different. And seeing what you do, with food specifically, has really encouraged me to branch out and use whole foods more.

A while back I commented on a video talking about how you inspire me to do and be better. I never thought of it in a negative light, then I binged a ton of your videos and saw how much you’re actually like me in so many ways. It felt good. I’m glad I found your channel. You still inspire me. Thank you, Sarah. Mental health wise for me your channel makes me feel like this peaceful life is possible. 🤍

I don’t think people actually think you’re fake. We do believe you do all of this, regardless of filming.The thing is, in order to truly inspire and challenge people, they need to feel like you are one of them. That you are not a superhero or an alien from other planet. They need to see that you too are not perfect, you wake up with messy hair, your kids don’t always behave, sometimes you stress about things, sometimes you make a bad decision you regret, sometimes your cooking exeriment goes wrong... We don’t see those parts of your life very often and that makes it look unreal. What I’m trying to say is, if you want to make a change and be inspiring, you need to also be relatable. We do love your content and I personally find it very inspiring, but oftentimes I wish you could make your videos less filtered, which would make me go "ahah, she is a person like me, maybe I could do it too".

Whenever I’m feeling down or like I’m “not doing enough” I go straight to your videos for motivation to get up and get things done. You’re videos have helped me out immensely to enjoy cleaning and cooking instead of looking it as a tiring chore. You cannot please anyone. And that’s on them. Not on you. Keep being amazing!

Viewers see your life as "unobtainable" and "unrealistic" because you aren't upfront about the fact that there are 2 of you. Kieran is a homemaker alongside you: this is a huge privilege that most families don't have. Your content would be more honest if you showed us just how much work Kieran does (childcare, homemaking, editing etc) instead of pretending that you do it all yourself.

Thank you for being so vulnerable! You have given me the courage and inspiration to be able to homeschool and to be able to work on the things that I really care about

I love this sweet girl. There is a time for everything. Ecclesiastes is just what I needed to hear today. And I was also thinking about the Sabbath day and how we can truly use our time to find rest in God! There is always time for the Lord, I just need to prioritize that time because it is so special. Thank you, sweet Sarah❤️

I think it’s inspiring how hard you work at taking care of your husband, home, and children. ❤️

PREACH! Your channel is such a blessing and encouragement to me ❤️ We all have different gifts, jobs, schedules, and personalities and it is beautiful to see a mom who loves taking care of her home and being with her people. And love to see how you use your time so wisely! It helps me navigate all the things with all the little people ❤️

So proud of you for being open, honest, and vulnerable with all of us. Praying for you and your family. You are honestly such a huge inspiration for me. I’ve sent friends your videos and they love them so much. All of us find them insanely helpful! You are wonderful keep sharing and doing what you’re doing🤍🤍

I personally feel supper encouraged and inspired when I watch your channel. I struggle with laziness and shying from responsability and watching you does make me what to be better and do more. 'If your hands find something to do, do it with all your might' is what I think of when I watch you.

LOVE THIS. the people you watch online should challenge you. I am only 18, but you have done that for me! You inspire me to build healthy habits NOW for not only me in this moment, but for my future self and my future family. You are motivating me to change my life so that I live in a way that makes sense for me, and my best functioning. Thank you for being an “influencer,” for the good.

You have inspired me so much and I have learned a lot about childbirth, minimalism, sustainable living, and being a godly wife from your videos. When I watch your videos, I feel empowered as a woman. Thank you so much, Sarah!

I really enjoyed this. I believe that our intimacy with the Lord carries us as women, as moms, as wives. When I don't make time to sit in His presenses, I end up feeling heavy at heart and my mind becomes so cluttered, that I am unable to serve my family with Joy. Thank you so much momma for this 💓

I never thought that this was “unattainable “ because HUSBAND Is at home doing tedious behind the scenes work. I would love to re organize and bake while my husband is taking care of our kids or editing, and then get paid for reorganizing my house hahahaha well played Sarah, well played. Everything is divided 50/50 . If keeran had a normal job outside of the home then you would see what 80% percent of moms deal with

8:03 I definitely find it bizarre as well that people give you hate for your clean, organized house. I've been watching your videos for several months now. I started when I was pregnant with my daughter and now she is about to be 1 month old. Watching your videos has helped me get more organized. I really strive to do more and keep my house better kept up because of you. You're such an inspiration. I love watching your videos so much. It makes my day when I see that you've posted something.

You are amazing! I can always see the Holy Spirit in you, even in videos, due to the light you shine and how you carry yourself and your household! As a Christian, it’s so refreshing to see another Christian utilize their platform to bring glory to God and do so without shame or tip toeing around biblical truth. We aren’t perfect and that’s okay. You are a great role model

Yeah, most of us can't relate to you, because you have your husband home with you 24/7. Your lifestyle is unattainable for most. Is that challenging us? Do we all have room for improvement with how minimal, clean and organized our home is? There are more important things to improve on.

Hey Sarah, i was just going to let you know that because of your Chanel and videos I have made so many positive changes in my house, like declutter, bake sour dough bread, do one load of laundry a day first thing in the morning, exercise in the morning and wake up earlier. I really look up to you being a new mom! Thank you! So much love from Manitoba Canada ♥️

Girl, of course your house is that way, both of your jobs are in that house! You’re not leaving the house to go to a job, you’re spending ALOT of time in your house.

I can't even begin to fathom how people blame the way THEY feel about themselves, on you. Different people have different priorities. If they feel some type of way for the way you live, then they should just use that as motivation to make small changes little by little. Doesn't mean they have to be EXACTLY like you, but simply just use it as motivation.

Sarah, I love your channel, it gives me so much inspiration and motivation to know that I always have things to improve on. I love how you are set in your faith and are so appreciative of where you are in life despite everything. You have blessed me so much in your content and your little chats! Keep doing what you're doing! x

I love watching your video’s because they are so calming. I’m old enough to be your Mum and if I was I would be extremely proud of you and the wonderful wife and mumma that you are. The fact that you’re doing it all for Gods glory is the icing on the cake, as we say in England. God bless you Sarah, keep being the unique person that God made you to be xx

I love watching videos that "challenge" me to be a better person. I love your videos because they do just that; it makes me want to try new things and better myself in certain areas of my life/routine.

You don’t set an unrealistic lifestyle, it’s just the world’s “normal” is overconsumption, cluttered, in debt, and unhappy, so you’re just going against the grain.

Thank you so much for this video. Loved hearing you talk about everything. The life you show is so real and for some it may be unrealistic but that’s what makes us all different. We are at different places in life It is okay to ask for help. I learned that this weekend at a women’s trip. ❤️

Sarah, you inspire me! You hit the nail on the head with your mission to give us an example of a well run home and to challenge us. I feel like I struggle with similar criticism from others when they see me as “Miss Perfect” and it hurts. I’m not perfect, I’m just a stay at home mom working hard to contribute to the household and shine in everything I do. You’ve worded it all so beautifully. Thank you for being you. The world needs more Sarah’s.
